3. Review of Outstanding Action Points
Ref. | Status | Who | Action | Comment |
20140219-6 | OPEN | TTC | Re-consider a joined task force meeting in 2016 | To be revisited |
20140929-3 | UPDATED | AS | ISM SIG to provide charter with more clearly defined and elaborated objectives | AS sent an email with the changes made so far. TTC questioned the proposal that ISM SIG could be a closed group. AS informed that the group intends to be fully opened up later and that it is not entirely closed - CERN can apply and the steering committee would decide case by case. TTC felt that if there is selection, clearer criteria are needed. However, SIG is not a TF – it should be more open and inclusive, especially because no sensitive information to be shared on that list. Action (updated from 20140929-3): 1. AS to convey the comments of the TTC to the Steering Committee 2. TTC to continue this discussion online. |
20140929-5 | CLOSED | MN | Explore alternative VC meeting system for the TTC members to use | Either technology depending on the room can be used - problem with the end side, so if anyone wants to participate remotely, we can discuss it with them separately |
20141105-01 | OPEN (Discussion postponed) | JD PDOs | Improve TFs’ communication by using (TERENA) social media channels in a coordinated way
| a) a strategy to reach the unknowns (Comms staff - JD to share some ideas during the next TTC); b) a way to make the outcome of the community work easy to read for everybody. Each PDO is encouraged to share the main results of the TFs via social medias.

- Setting out a baseline level of assurance in federations, common ground in identity federations. Apparently, the issue is not so much related to the policy issues, but operational practices instead – tried to address that;
- To satisfy the growing need to categorize a lot of metadata, entity categories are used for tagging (8000 categories);
- Working on the Metadata Query Protocol - federations dealing with a lot of data (e.g. eduGAIN) need better tools and specifications to be able to manage handle metadata ;distribution more efficiently
- Working with the certified group SIRTFI group – Security Incident Response within identity federations;
- SCHAC (SCHema for Academia) - LF sent slides around with main objectives and other information; (https://wiki.refeds.org/display/STAN/SCHAC)SCHAC (SCHema for Academia) - LF sent slides around with main objectives and other information;

LF reported that the Greenhouse activity has been started – a plan has been set and the concept is ready to be moved forward. A short report, including a high plan, can be found online (https://wiki.terena.org/display/GREEN/Greenhouse+Home). At the beginning, the most important tasks were shaping the concept (what is Greenhouse), looking into the requirements of the projects in order to see whether there are common requirements that can be addressed, and looking into existing models, since there are groups that already offer something similar.

NH reported that since the TF-EMC2 activity finished last year, there were talks about the need to keep those discussions going elsewhere. One of the platforms is the European Workshop on Trust and Identity (http://identityworkshop.eu/) - open – an open space type meeting, coordinated by Rainer Hörbe, which brought in people from outside of the community. NH noted that until now there were a lot of meetings that were left to Rainer to run. However, there is a need to have this process more formalized so that GÉANT in collaboration with Rainer could coordinate those meetings better, for example, GÉANT Amsterdam could run the registration and website.
